Abinsk Airfield

The closure was primarily due to economic reasons. The airfield was operated by the local DOSAAF (Volunteer Society for Cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Navy) club. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, state funding for the DOSAAF system was severely cut. The Abinsk Aviation Sports Club, like many others across the country, could no longer afford the maintenance of the infrastructure, fuel, and aircraft, leading to the cessation of all operations.

The site is completely defunct as an airfield and has been partially repurposed. A significant portion of the western part of the former airfield, including a section of the main runway, is now occupied by the Abinsk Solar Power Plant (Абинская СЭС). Satellite imagery shows the remaining runway and taxiways are severely deteriorated, cracked, and overgrown with vegetation, making them unusable for any aviation activity. Some of the original airfield buildings may be abandoned or used for local storage or agricultural purposes.

During its active years, Abinsk Airfield was a sports and training aerodrome. It was a key facility for the Abinsk DOSAAF club, serving as a center for regional aerosports. Its main operations included parachute training and jumps, for which Antonov An-2 aircraft were commonly used. It also hosted glider training activities. The airfield played a role in providing initial flight and parachute experience for civilians and youths, some of whom would go on to pursue military or professional aviation careers.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Abinsk Airfield. The construction of the large solar power plant on the airfield's territory presents a permanent obstruction, making any future restoration for aviation purposes virtually impossible.
